One thing I have always liked about Seth&rsquo;s work is that he asks very little for the knowledge he gives. This book cost me $5 (Kindle version) and I finished it during my lunch break (alright I read for about 2 hours last night too). His blog posts can be read on the way to the break room.</p> <p>Poke the Box is Seth&rsquo;s rant on the importance of starting and shipping. In 83 pages he makes a compelling case for why we should not let the fear of failure prevent us from starting something that could pe potentially amazing.</p>
